Moss Valley Country Park

Moss Valley is beautiful parkland situated between Gwersyllt and Brynteg, three miles north of Wrexham. The V-shaped valley has wooded sides, two small lakes and areas of open grassland.

The Valley provides a rich habitat for wildlife and is particularly noted for its birds.  Moss Valley has an industrial past, and was once a major coal mining area. In 1973 the spoil heaps were reclaimed, but amongst the tranquil woodland and meadows, evidence of the old railways can still be found hidden in the park.

The park has a number of footpaths running alongside the lakes and through woodland of oak and beech. The paths often follow the old tramways and railway lines that were once used to extract the coal and sandstone from the valley. Although the coal mines have long since gone the small sandstone quarries are still waiting to be explored, hidden away amongst the trees.

Several paths are also suitable for bikes and a new mile long stretch of cycle way is found along the top end of the park emerging at the Westminster road entrance of the park.

Moss Valley Fishing Club is run from the lake by the main car park, please contact the Moss Valley Community Ranger at Groundwork to obtain membership details. Alternatively fishing day tickets can be purchased from Deggys Fishing Tackle, 2 Ruabon Rd, Wrexham.
